Almost all my interior photos have the lamp in them.
Commentary
This was the original category for journalistic writing for the first of Ginny’s photo classes. I kept it up as a journal while taking some of her other classes. The subheadings were class topics of various other classes I attended. There is quite a span of time when I didn’t add anything here, and most of the photos for her classes were printed—I have piles of them. This category used to be called “Photo Classes” because the posts were more like a journal. I made this category into one of the subheadings under the “Photo Classes” heading. Some of this writing is sickeningly personal and totally not newsworthy.
Identity
Maybe my search for my identity should be filtered/honed/focused/simplified. Like maybe it’s not my entire comprehensive identity that I need to find, just my photographic identity. Such as…am I a portrait shooter, a scenery shooter, maybe macro shooter, pet shooter? Maybe I’m only good for sheep shots? My own sheep shots. I don’t want to shoot anybody’s sheep. I want to shoot my own sheep, not other people’s sheep.
Caged Bird

End of the Song
Let’s keep this girl singing. How can she keep from singing?

Sometimes people I meet ask me, “How do you like Port Townsend?” People I used to know ask me, “How do you like Port Townsend?” I ask myself the same.
Moving On
When I first moved out here to the opposite side of the country, I decided to make a website that would have a “digital portfolio” so I could apply to big-time high-paying high-times big-paying part-time jobs in Seattle. It only took me two years to get it to the point I could put a link to it in a job application.
